“…This is very important because Southern Europe's buildings stock represent more than 33% of the European total residential building stock. Our identification of the main barriers of nZEB implementation and market uptake status identifies a common pattern in Southern Europe, which is in line with other studies including the ZEBRA2020 project [97]. We believe that we are in a transitional phase and facing new phenomena of building transformation and creation in Southern Europe.…”

a b s t r a c tIn times of great transition of the European construction sector to energy efficient and nearly zero energy buildings (nZEB), a market observation containing qualitative and quantitative indications should help to fill out some of the current gaps concerning the EU 2020 carbon targets. Next to the economic challenges, there are equally important factors that hinder renovating the existing residential building stock and adding newly constructed high performance buildings. Under these circumstances this paper summarises the findings of a cross-comparative study of the societal and technical barriers of nZEB implementation in 7 Southern European countries. The study analyses the present situation and provides an overview on future prospects for nZEB in Southern Europe. The result presents an overview of challenges and provides recommendations based on available empirical evidence to further lower those barriers in the European construction sector. The paper finds that the most Southern European countries are poorly prepared for nZEB implementation and especially to the challenge/opportunity of retrofitting existing buildings. Creating a common approach to further develop nZEB targets, concepts and definitions in synergy with the climatic, societal and technical state of progress in Southern Europe is essential. The paper provides recommendations for actions to shift the identified gaps into opportunities for future development of climate adaptive high performance buildings.

“…This bridging process, or changes in worldviews, may result from the gradual emergence of a shared language, as is emphasized in network governance theories (Sørensen and Torfing, 2005). Many social psychology perspectives may help in explaining the mechanisms that trigger awareness-raising (Rung 1) or knowledge translation and the development of shared (Hauge et al, 2013). Perspectives that focus on the effect of face-to-face communication, and messages supplied by one's "in-group" Stoknes, 2015), are relevant for explaining how networks represent arenas where shared worldviews evolve.…”

Design/methodology/approach -The findings are based on 12 qualitative interviews taken from two case studies, and the results are explained in relation to the multilevel network framework and environmental psychology.Findings -Multilevel networks can promote learning and identification of specific actions in connection with climate change adaptation. The aim should be to establish interdisciplinarity, with participants from at least two authority levels. Representatives should be in positions that enable them to introduce acquired knowledge to the organization and influence its application. A network requires organizational commitment, during the initial phase and throughout the follow-up process. Municipal leaders (mayors) must be aware of the network, act as signatories to relevant documents, and be familiar with participating representatives. Commitment to knowledge application within the organization also requires that participants understand where and how to work strategically to convert new ideas into action.Practical implications -This paper presents practical and research-based guidelines for the management of climate change adaptation networks at municipal, county and national authority levels.Originality/value -This paper combines political science and environmental psychology perspectives as a means of analysing network achievements. A psychological approach may help to promote a greater understanding of why and how network knowledge is transferred.

“…En stor anledning till att många miljonprogramshus renoverades under 1970-80-och 90-talen har därför främst varit (politiska) ambitioner att förbättra ett bostadsområdes sociala status för att få lägenheterna uthyrda, även om byggnaderna i många fall också haft driftproblem som Planeringsforskaren Andrew Karvonen (2013) har studerat energieffektiv renovering för enfamiljsvillor i Storbritannien och menar att lokala samarbetsgrupper kan väcka uppmärksamhet hos enskilda villaägare till energifrågornas betydelse. Energiforskarna Hauge, Thomsen et al (2013) har studerat hinder och drivkrafter för energieffektivisering vid renovering av bostadsrättslägenheter i Norge.…”
